Goodbye's The Saddest Word

Disney,

Twelve and a half years ago,  you came to live with us.  Surprise!  I wanted to try for a baby, Dad brought home another puppy.  A puppy with the longest tongue I'd ever seen. When I first saw you, I cried.  And today I am crying again. You've been a good dog.  You were cute, happy and friendly, sometimes stinky and obnoxious, and always lovable.  Even as the years began to show, you still managed to muster up that energy you're so famous for.  That energy was still there, all the way to the very end, but your body told us (and you) differently. Goodbye's are always tough so instead I will say thank you.  Thank you for choosing us as your human family.  Thank you for your loyalty.  Thank you for the tail wags and the smiles.  Thank you for all the loves and "kisses".  And thank you for letting us know when it was time to say goodbye.

You will be missed, my friend.
